WHY WE LOVE SOUTH AFRICA

PROTECTING THE WILD

South Africa boasts a strong commitment to conservation, seen in its numerous national parks and protected areas. Adventurers are drawn to the world-renowned Kruger National Park, where the Big Five roam freely in their natural habitat. The Western Cape coast invites marine enthusiasts to dive with sharks and along the Eastern Cape and Kwa-Zulu Natal coast you can witness the extraordinary sardine run, a spectacle of nature’s abundance. Or venture into the spectacular landscapes of the Northern Cape and the Kgalagadi and appreciate the magic of the desert.

VIBRANT TRADITIONS

Cultural richness is profound here. Heritage sites throughout the country showcase the vibrant traditions and histories of the Zulu and Xhosa peoples. Meanwhile, Robben Island and the Apartheid Museum offer insights into the nation’s poignant past, telling stories of resilience and freedom. The culinary landscape in South Africa is as diverse as its people, blending flavours from African roots with influences from Dutch, English, and Indian settlers. Wine lovers rejoice in the world-class vineyards of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, where the soil and climate create perfect conditions for exquisite wines.

SO MUCH TO EXPLORE

South Africa is renowned as "the world in one country" thanks to its diverse landscapes that range from dramatic mountain ranges, rolling savannahs and a high interior plateau to vast semi-arid deserts and a spectacular coastline that includes stretches of dense coastal forest, rolling dunes, protected bays and endless beaches.

The best times to visit South Africa

South Africa's climate varies significantly due to its vast size and diverse landscapes. Generally, the country enjoys a temperate climate with plenty of sunshine throughout the year. Coastal regions experience more moderate temperatures, while the interior can be more extreme, with hot summers and cold winters.


From a safari perspective, while many consider the best time to visit South Africa to be during the dry winter months from June to August, when the weather is cooler, game viewing is largely great all year-round. The green season (December to April) is spectacular, especially for birding, although it's warmer and more humid - especially along the coastline. This is when baby animals are plentiful and you'll see a high number of kills by predators. 


Spring (September to November) is when migratory birds arrive and the temperatures build up till the first rains fall and Autumn (March to May) is a great time of year when temperatures are more moderate, rainfall less and the landscapes still green. 


If you want to catch the southern right whales calving on the Western and Eastern Cape coastline, June to November is the whale season.


Summer: December to February. 

Hot and humid, especially in the coastal areas, with afternoon thunderstorms common in the interior.

Autumn: March to May. 

Cooler temperatures with less rainfall, making it a pleasant time to visit.

Winter: June to August. 

Dry and cool in the interior, warm sunny days and cool evenings in the Kruger Park region and often stormy weather on the Western Cape coastline.

Spring: September to November. 

Warmer temperatures and blooming flora, perfect for outdoor activities and sightseeing.
